Song Junzhan hasn't seen any acquaintances related to his father's generation for a long time.
In a trance, I recalled the past for a rare time. In fact, it was not long ago, only four or five years. However, these years have been too intense and fulfilling. I was busy and the only free time I had was not enough to think about the empress. I had no time to recall the bad things in the past. When I thought about it suddenly, it felt as distant as if it was something from my previous life.
At that time, he also knelt in the hall of the He family, asking He Zhuo to help petition for the revival of the imperial examination system, but he was driven out by He Zhuo's servants, and this happened more than once.
He Zhuo looked guilty, obviously afraid of his revenge.
revenge?
The miserable state he is in now is retribution.
Song Junzhan is busy managing the country for Your Majesty and spending time with Your Majesty under the moonlight. How could he have the time to take revenge on him?
It was just him they happened to bump into.
Memories of the past were brought back, but Song Junzhan remained calm, not recalling the shame and humiliation he had experienced at all.
"I don't blame you for what happened in the past."
He Zhuo looked up, extremely happy: "My dear nephew, you are so broad-minded. Uncle He can't even compare to you."
Song Junzhan was calm, his bottomless eyes showing no ripples. "I was inconsiderate back then. The deposed emperor was not a good emperor. Even if you agreed, the imperial examination system would not be revived, and everyone would be implicated by me."
He Zhuo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's what I thought at the time. Too many people have died for this. We can't make any more unnecessary sacrifices."
Song Junzhan looked at him coldly: "I don't care about what happened before, but the current emperor is not the deposed emperor before. That is His Majesty whom I swear to follow until death, and you are a traitor."
"Those who commit treason will be killed without mercy!"
He Zhuo's expression froze, and before he could curse, the people next to him had already taken action and beheaded him in an instant.
Naturally, no one behind could escape.
They all became dead souls under the knife.
Song Junzhan watched this scene indifferently. He had long since stopped caring about He Zhuo's existence, but it made him realize once again how correct his decision was to choose His Majesty.
If it were not for Your Majesty, he would not be the butcher but the meat today.
Not only did he fulfill his obsession with reviving the imperial examination system, he also found the meaning of life.
And all this is just because of Your Majesty.
I really want to see Your Majesty.
New Year's Day is just one hour away, so he has to return to the palace quickly. His Majesty has promised to accompany him.
----
Others went home or returned to the palace, but the poor Prince Wei was busy trying to rescue people.
It literally means rescuing people.
A group of people were being chased and escaped through a secret passage, and finally came out of a ditch. Xiao Jingyi had someone fish them out.
Looking at the group of people staring at him in shock and wariness, Xiao Jingyi held his attitude and sneered in a cold and arrogant manner: "A bunch of trash!"
Inner thought: I feel like the emperor’s sister at this moment, QvQ~~
Some people were so angry that they clenched their fists, but dared not speak out.
Xiao Jingrong was surrounded by people. He looked at Xiao Jingyi with a sullen face and said, "Are you here to arrest us for the Empress?"
Xiao Jingyi did not answer, but looked at Xiao Jingrong: “I haven’t seen you for a few years, and you are more embarrassed than before.”
Xiao Jingrong's plan had just failed, and he was immediately furious at Xiao Jingyi's sarcasm, but the servants on the boat handed them a handkerchief and asked them to wipe it.
Xiao Jingrong took it and felt doubtful: “What on earth are you doing here?”
Xiao Jingyi laughed so hard that he asked for a beating: "Look at your jokes!"
"Look at you all busy with all these things, fighting for your lives and escaping. It's so hard to gather this little force, but instead of planning it out, you trusted that lunatic Lu Ling and got fooled around by him. It's just hilarious."
For a moment, Xiao Jingrong felt that he was meeting the empress. When did the King of Wei learn the empress's ability to make people angry to death?
Xiao Jingrong clutched his handkerchief tightly. "We failed, but how much better off are you? You became the empress's lackey, were banished and wandered, looked high and mighty, and yet were still being watched intently by the silver-armored guards like prisoners?"
“Bang!”
Xiao Jingyi threw the teacup in his hand fiercely, his handsome face instantly becoming ferocious: "I am a running dog, but I won't be a running dog forever, and you traitors must die now."
One person saw through the trick and hurried out to persuade them.
"You two princes, calm down. You are all descendants of the late emperor. You should be united as brothers and help each other instead of killing each other. Especially at this critical moment, you should discuss things properly."
As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Jingrong's sleeve.
Xiao Jingrong is not stupid, and he understands something at this moment. Xiao Jingyi is probably also ambitious.
Yes, as a royal man, which one would not yearn for that position?
During the previous fight for the throne, Xiao Jingyi was still young and had no strength of his own. He lost his mind for a moment and actually sided with Xiao Xuanyang.
But even though he helped Xiao Xuanyang, people didn't believe him.
Since ascending the throne, Xiao Jingyi has been sent out to tour the country. It seems that he is patrolling the city on behalf of the emperor, but in fact he is sidelined by the Silver Armor Guards and is not allowed to return to the capital to contact the core of power.
It has been almost four years since the empress ascended the throne. Xiao Jingyi has also witnessed her ruthlessness, so it is not surprising that he feels unwilling.
The funniest thing in this world is to judge others by yourself.
Some people always impose their own ideas on others, thinking that if they can't do something, others can't do it either, and if they are bad, others are bad too.
Xiao Jingrong thought for a moment: "Jingyi, Big Brother knows that it is impossible for him to regain his kingdom, but I really can't watch the Xiao family's kingdom being destroyed by that evildoer."
"As long as you help me out of this predicament, I will do my utmost to help you become emperor in the future."
Xiao Jingyi glanced at them with contempt: "Just you? Take a break, do you really think I'm here to save you?"
He raised his hand and immediately a group of men in black rushed over from all sides of the ship.
There were a few people with good eyesight who recognized it immediately: "This is not the Silver Armor Guard, but this weapon looks very familiar."
One of the men in black held a pair of huge hammers and shook them ferociously.
Unexpectedly, the other party was not frightened, but surprised and said: "It's the Qinglong Escort Agency, he is the third in command of the Qinglong Escort Agency."
The Qinglong Escort Agency is one of the best escort agencies in the capital. Even if no one else mentions it, the pair of giant hammers that the third in command has are very recognizable.
The Qinglong Escort Agency was established not long ago, only about a dozen years ago, but it has developed very quickly. It has many followers, and many of them are highly skilled in martial arts. They run around everywhere, and their power is not obvious, but their network of contacts is definitely wide.
Everyone in the capital knows that the second in command of the Qinglong Escort Agency is good with a sword, and his swordsmanship is superb, not inferior to that of the current General Rong. The third in command has a pair of iron hammers weighing hundreds of pounds, which can shatter bones into pieces with one hammer. Only the first in command is mysterious, and it is said that no one has ever seen his true face.
If the head of the Qinglong Escort Agency was Xiao Jingyi...
Amidst everyone's suspicious gazes, Xiao Jingyi raised his eyebrows nonchalantly: "If nothing else, he does have some vision, but it's useless!"
The third in command took action immediately, hitting each person in the head with a hammer.
No one doubted Xiao Jingyi's murderous intention after seeing that bloody method.
